SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), on June 30, 2005, the 
petitioner requested an administrative review of the antidumping duty 
order for JFE Steel Corporation, Nippon Steel Corporation, NKK Tubes, 
and Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. on certain large diameter carbon 
and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe from Japan. None 
of the respondents requested a review. On July 15, 2005, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we published the initiation of an 
administrative review of this order for the period June 1, 2004, 
through May 31, 2005. See Initiation Notice. On September 20, 2005, the 
petitioner timely withdrew its request for an administrative review of 
certain large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and 
pressure pipe from Japan.

Rescission of Review

    The Department's regulations at 351.213(d)(1) provide that the 
Department will rescind an administrative review if the party that 
requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of 
the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested 
review, or withdraws its request at a later date if the Department 
determines that it is reasonable to extend the time limit for 
withdrawing the request. The petitioner withdrew its request within the 
90-day period and was the only party to request this review. 
Accordingly, we are rescinding this review. The Department will issue 
appropriate assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection within 15 days of publication of this notice.
    This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    This notice is issued and published in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(4) and section 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.

    Dated: October 14, 2005.
